Re: conjunctions

aysaa, you didn't ask this, but I'm going to add it anyway. It sounds a bit rude. "You said you could carry the table by yourself and rejected my offer of assistance. I see you struggling with it. So tell me, you idiot, can you carry it or not?"

If you are making a genuine inquiry about the person's ability, you may want something more like "Do you think you can carry this table by yourself?"

I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
